In trying to follow the base/binutils part of https://wiki.freebsd.org/ExternalGCC (or /usr/ports/base/README) for targeting powerpc64 I got:
( My /etc/make.conf has: WRKDIRPREFIX?=/wrkdirs .) # cd ../../base/binutils/ # make CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=powerpc64-gcc CROSS_SYSROOT=/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/xtcgcc-powerpc64-installworld package . . . --- recode-sr-latin --- /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/local/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-gcc --sysroot=/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/xtcgcc-powerpc64-installworld -O2 -pipe -DLIBICONV_PLUG -g -fno-strict-aliasing -o recode-sr-latin recode_sr_latin-recode-sr-latin.o recode_sr_latin-filter-sr-latin.o ../gnulib-lib/libgettextlib.la ../intl/libintl.la -L/usr/local/lib --- cldr_plurals-cldr-plural.o --- . . . --- recode-sr-latin --- libtool: link: /usr/local/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-gcc --sysroot=/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/xtcgcc-powerpc64-installworld -O2 -pipe -DLIBICONV_PLUG -g -fno-strict-aliasing -o .libs/recode-sr-latin recode_sr_latin-recode-sr-latin.o recode_sr_latin-filter-sr-latin.o ../gnulib-lib/.libs/libgettextlib.so /wrkdirs/usr/ports/devel/gettext-tools/work/gettext-0.19.8.1/gettext-tools/intl/.libs/libintl.so -L/usr/local/lib ../intl/.libs/libintl.so -lm -lncurses -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib --- hostname --- . . . --- recode-sr-latin --- /wrkdirs/usr/ports/devel/gettext-tools/work/gettext-0.19.8.1/gettext-tools/intl/.libs/libintl.so: undefined reference to `pthread_create' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status *** [recode-sr-latin] Error code 1 make[16]: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/devel/gettext-tools/work/gettext-0.19.8.1/gettext-tools/src The use of -L/usr/local/lib and -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib look suspect for such cross builds: # ls /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/xtcgcc-powerpc64-installworld/usr/local/lib/ ls: /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/xtcgcc-powerpc64-installworld/usr/local/lib/: No such file or directory Then there is also: undefined reference to `pthread_create'. Is there a missing -pthread or some such? (Or is the /usr/local/lib reference a cause?) [FYI: The earlier pkg build seem to have worked.] Looks like this way of getting to 12 or later for powerpc64 without use of gcc 4.2.1 is currently blocked. (The issue may not be limited to powerpc64.) (It is also unclear how the process involving base/* mixes with doing later FreeBSD updates from source --including any use of a delete-old step if WITHOUT_BINUTILS= is used at the time. For the cross buildworld itself it is not clear what options are intended.) Notes about some typos on: https://wiki.freebsd.org/ExternalGCC /usr/ports/devel/ports-mgmt/pkg should be: /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg 3 examples of CROSS_TOOCLAHIN should be: CROSS_TOOLCHAIN Notes about the /usr/ports/base/README : No mention is made of the pkg build so that it can be set up on the target. Only https://wiki.freebsd.org/ExternalGCC has that information. /usr/ports/base/README does not reference https://wiki.freebsd.org/ExternalGCC either. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
